New turboback
After some consideration I'd like to sell my catted cobb turboback and go with a full 3" from turbo to axle. I'm currently leaning towards this:

Opinions, Laughter, Offers on the cobb?

Daddy's is nice, just expensive. I like the COBB 3" TBE as well. Whatever makes you happy, right?

I would if I didn't already have a Stromung 2.5" intermediate pipe to mate between my COBB 3" catted DP and my 2.5" Prodrive Oval tipped axleback If that is too loud, I will leave the 3" COBB DP on and just put on the OEM STI catback. I just don't want any annoying drone. Will just have to wait and see. Your COBB 3" TBE should be pretty easy to sell.Phibs wrote:I love the cobb but not the 2.5" taper @ midpipe It's a great piece of engineering and sounds awesome. Wanna buy it?
Oh, got your PM, too. See you tonight. Thanks again.

Your links aren't working, so I can't tell what you are planning on getting.
I actually think the cobb has the best design for cat placement, it's as close to the back of the downpipe as it can be. Cats closer to the turbo are more efficient becuase they heat up faster but also create more back pressure than those like the Cobb design. So, unless your thinking of going catless you are not going to gain any noticable power from the down-pipe, even it it doesn't taper to 2.5"

Yep, my power drops off around 5800 due to the cat (which is about 6" fromthe turbo), not my exhaust pipe size.
